Covid inquiry live updates: UK did 'too little, too late' in early Covid response, leading to thousands more deaths
The inquiry says 23,000 lives could have been saved in the first wave England by an earlier lockdown - but also that a lockdown could have been avoided altogether with earlier interventions.

As a bassist picking up the instrument in the nineties it's hard to overstate how influential Mani was, or how good he was. It's hard for a bassist to stand out well, but he always did.

Vaccines are safe. Vaccines save lives.
Autism is caused by genetics + environmental triggers.
Extensive studies with millions of kids showed no connection between vaccines and autism.
Doctors vaccinate our kids because we love them and want them to live to be healthy adults.

If we don’t signal our virtue every now and again - then so many believe they are utterly alone - “virtue signalling” is not there to say “aren’t I good” but “there are more of us than you might imagine” and “fuck you for demanding that only the brutal and the bullies may speak”
